  2. Session Outcomes • Understand the role and responsibilities of the articulation officer (AO) • Identify current system-wide curriculum challenges • Explore potential solutions to challenges • Consider establishing a plan to collaborate with your AO • Recognize how the AO can be an effective tool for the CIO

  3. The Articulation Officer • Role varies widely among CCCs • Continually evolving • Different CCC reporting structures: • Instruction • Student Services Counselor, teacher, administrator Curriculum coach & developer ADT expert Magician and problem solver Fearless student advocate ASSIST, C-ID, IGETC, CSU, UC expert University liaison

  8. Course Identification System (C-ID) • CA common course numbering system • Intent: facilitate ease of transfer for students attending multiple institutions • Approval/participation mandated for comparable courses on ADTs • CCC-CSU faculty-driven process • CSU faculty participation lags • AOs explain process/implications to CCC faculty • Assess local course comparability to C-ID descriptor • Propose course revisions as appropriate • Submit proposals to C-ID; monitor progress • Advise faculty, curriculum committees, counselors, students of C-ID approvals • Benefits/challenges

  10. What’s Required of Us? SB440 • Before the commencement of the 2015–16 academic year, a community college shall create an associate degree for transfer in the major and area of emphasis offered by that college for any approved transfer model curriculum finalized prior to the commencement of the 2013–14 academic year. • A community college shall create an associate degree for transfer in every major and area of emphasis offered by that college for any approved transfer model curriculum approved subsequent to the commencement of the 2013–14 academic year within 18 months of the approval of the transfer model curriculum.

  11. Current Challenges- ADT degrees Challenges: • CCCs cannot create some degrees within 60/90 unit limitation • Meeting units limitation 60 requires compromising CSU admission requirements Recommendations: • Develop TMC’s that can fit within the 60/60 framework • Concentrate on development of TMC’s that align with the top majors. The top 5 transfer majors to CSU-Business, Psychology, Sociology, Liberal Studies and Kinesiology

  12. Current Challenges- ADT Degrees Challenges: • Revision timeline for TMCs may prevent colleges from adopting ADTs • Communication Recommendations: • Consider reviewing/revising TMC templates that CCCs have identified as being problematic(e.g. Music, Computer Science) • AO and CIO collaborate on communication with the CCCCO Academic Affairs and Student Services Offices • Ensure everyone is informed

  13. How can we award more degrees? Defining “Local” • SB 1440 legislation states: “A community college district shall not impose any requirements in addition to the requirements of this section, including any local college or district requirements, for a student to be eligible for the associate degree for transfer and admission to the California State University.” Recommendations • Don’t place unnecessary requirements on degree attainment • Consider reviewing existing policies for our local degrees, in addition to the ADTs • Work with your AO and Academic Senate to establish clear guidelines, considering seamless paths to achieving a degree (or multiple degrees)

  14. How can we award more degrees? Reciprocity- Does your college have a reciprocity plan in place? • Allow for flexibility • Work with AO and Academic Senate to establish a policy • Perhaps explore a regional policy

  15. What’s in Your Toolbox? • System wide-consultation CCCCO Regional Representatives • Campus Specific Collaboration New AO’s Training and Development; CIAC (California Intersegmental Articulation Council), Curriculum Institute, Training Conferences Experienced AO’s Recognize their “discipline” expertise • Both- Stay Connected
